The Guinness World Records world record for the longest domino drop shot consisted of 4,107 shot glasses and was achieved by Senor Frog’s Bahamas (Bahamas), in Nassau, Bahamas, on 6 February 2013.

Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the Largest collection of shot glasses, set by Brad Rodgers of Las Vegas, Nevada who has collected 8,411 shot glasses.

The glasses crashed into each other for 55 seconds, with Ahamd Taher, the food and beverage manager at Citymax Hotels pushing over the first glass.

Taher said over 160 employees were involved in the preparations for the record-breaking attempt, which was five months in the making.

A domino drop shot is where a shot glass drops its contents into another glass.

The previous world record-holder was the Bahama-based location of the chain Senor Frog, which got 4,107 of its 4,109 shot glasses to fall correctly in February 2013.
